Our Badges

The TRIADvances Badge System involves 5 primary badges, four of which are directly aligned to a domain in the Danielson Framework. The fifth is an individually driven badge that allows teachers to earn app- or tool-specific credentials. Teachers can earn all three levels of each badge throughout a two-year time span, but in order to move from one level to the next within each badge, they must prove that they are moving up the SAMR Model, from augmentation to modification and finally to redefinition. The levels are explained in more detail here.

The Developer Badge

The Developer Badge is where the true individualization comes into play.

They then prove that they have mastered the use of this specific technology and have implemented it in their classroom environment.
